The Plain's Center, the Rising Temple of Life

Zhu Zhuqing had learned about Lu Yuan's craftsmanship these past few days and admired it greatly!

Of all the dishes Lu Yuan made, she had a particular fondness for grilled fish.

Even though it's fish, she's far more interested in grilled fish than fish soup!

The aroma of the grilled fish constantly stimulated her taste buds.

However, she was a shy and reserved person, and although she looked very expectant, she didn't show it.

But Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing have been together for so long, eating together every day, how could he not know Zhu Zhuqing's preferences?

He didn't even need to look to know that the people around him were secretly drooling.

The two large white fish were grilled until golden brown and glistening, then sprinkled with special seasonings. The aroma alone was enough to whet one's appetite.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up as well.

After estimating the time, Lu Yuan took the grilled fish down and handed the larger one to Zhu Zhuqing, saying, "Zhu Qing, here you go!"

Zhu Zhuqing took the grilled fish, took a deep sniff, smiled slightly, and then opened her cherry-like mouth to take a small bite.

As soon as the golden fish meat entered her mouth, Zhu Zhuqing's big eyes narrowed, and she looked like she was enjoying it!

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled. Only at this moment did Zhu Zhuqing seem like a young girl who was her age. At other times, she was so mature that it was heartbreaking!

Watching Zhu Zhuqing eat in small bites, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. The days the two of them spent together were actually quite nice!

However, things are going well on my end. I wonder how things are going on with my senior sister?

"Senior sister, are you alright?" Lu Yuan's gaze couldn't help but drift into the distance!

Meanwhile, in another corner of the plain!

Hu Liena's pink eyes exuded a unique Charm, her two snow-white fox ears stood up, and a snow-white tail followed behind her. Combined with her pretty yet Charm face, she was truly a peerless beauty.

Hu Liena pierced a young man's throat with her sword, and amidst the splattering of blood, the young man's body vanished without a trace!

This is the third time!

Since she entered the plains, she has been harassed by some young Soul Master because of her beauty. Some of them even have bad intentions and want to do something excessive. However, Hu Liena has sent such people to hell without hesitation.

However, what is puzzling is that every time she kills someone, the victim's body turns into specks of light and disappears on the spot.

This shocked Hu Liena; this place was truly bizarre.

At this moment, she couldn't help but recall Lu Yuan's guess before entering the ruins: those who died in the ruins would be resurrected outside. Perhaps these people really would be resurrected outside the ruins, just as her junior brother had said.

However, that would be too lenient on them.

Hu Liena was indignant.

Sheathed her short sword, Hu Liena's gaze drifted into the distance. More than twenty days had passed, and she hadn't seen her junior brother. She really missed him!

"I wonder how my junior brother is doing now?" Hu Liena murmured, then a slight smile appeared on her lips. "With his abilities, I doubt anyone can do anything to him!"

"Junior brother, your senior sister misses you so much!"

Hu Liena took out a woman's gold mask from her necklace-like Soul Tool and put it on. In recent days, she had come to understand why her junior brother wore a mask. One reason was to keep it a secret, and another was that both she and Lu Yuan were too handsome, which could easily cause trouble.

Even though she was wearing a mask, her figure was still alluring and her temperament still unique, and it always had some effect.

Hu Liena gazed intently into the distance for a moment, then looked away. "Junior brother, are you also thinking of your senior sister?"

She murmured softly, then continued walking forward. She knew that all she needed to do was keep moving forward, and her junior brother would definitely be waiting for her at the finish line. This was her confidence in her junior brother, who was as ethereal as a fairy. She believed in her junior brother even more than she believed in herself.

That was an incredibly convincing man!

Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze. For some reason, he felt as if Hu Liena was looking at him during that one glance.

He seemed to see Hu Liena's beautiful face, filled with longing, through countless layers of space.

His feelings for Hu Liena grew stronger.

"What's wrong? Why are you spacing out? The grilled fish is getting cold!" Zhu Zhuqing's cool voice rang out as Lu Yuan was lost in thought.

Lu Yuan turned to Zhu Zhuqing a slight smile, handed her the grilled fish, and said, "You eat it, I have no appetite!"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with a hint of doubt in her eyes and a touch of concern in her voice.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about Senior Sister!" Lu Yuan gently tucked Zhu Zhuqing's long hair behind her ear and said softly.

"Oh!" Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, then raised it again after a moment, staring at Lu Yuan. "Can you tell me about her?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was taken aback, then nodded and told Zhu Zhuqing about his and Hu Liena's situation.

Now that he has made a promise with Zhu Zhuqing, he will not hide anything about their relationship from Zhu Zhuqing, not even the slightest bit!

Zhu Zhuqing listened attentively, her expression changing frequently. When Lu Yuan finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of resentment in her expression.

But there was no look of jealousy on his face.

"It seems your senior sister loves you very much!" Zhu Zhuqing said Youyou.

"Yes!" Lu Yuan nodded. He was quite certain that among Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena had the deepest feelings for him.

He was certain that if there were a single Lovesick Heartbreak Red right now, Hu Liena could definitely pick it.

This is something that neither Zhu Zhuqing Qian Renxue can do at present.

He knew that Zhu Zhuqing loved him, but they had only known each other for a short time and hadn't reached that point yet.

As for Qian Renxue, she has feelings for him, but it is obvious that Lu Yuan is not as important to Qian Renxue as the Spirit Hall or Qian Daoliu. Lu Yuan is well aware of this.

But there was nothing he could do; he had fallen for Qian Renxue at first sight, and even now, Qian Renxue was still the one he loved most.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhu Zhuqing's expression shifted, and she finally let out a Youyou sigh.

Then, staring intently at Lu Yuan, she asked, "Can you tell me, who is this Xiao Xue?"

Her tone carried a Sisi murderous intent, and her cold eyes held a touch of the wildness of Hell Spirit Cat. When Lu Yuan spoke of Hu Liena earlier, he briefly mentioned Qian Renxue's name, but Zhu Zhuqing was incredibly perceptive. She immediately realized that Qian Renxue seemed to hold some special significance for Lu Yuan, which only fueled her anger.

Although she minded about Lu Yuan and Hu Liena's affair, she accepted it, since she came later. But now there's Qian Renxue too. Does Lu Yuan really want to have his cake and eat it too?

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Lu Yuan with icy eyes, sharp as knives.

Lu Yuan opened his mouth, about to say something.

Just then, the entire plain trembled, and in the far center of the plain, a huge temple rose from the ground, its holy light shining across the entire plain.
